Hi!
The KDevelop XDebug Support plugin (for PHP debugging) has not been updated for
years and has not been ported to KF6. Its use of obsolete KDevPlatform/Debugger
API that has been deprecated for more than a decade blocks cleaning up the
KDevelop code base and getting rid of zombie breakpoints as detailed in [1] and [2].
Does anyone care to port kdev-xdebug to KF6 and to non-deprecated
KDevPlatform/Debugger API? If not, can we remove the deprecated API regardless
of this single remaining use of it?
